Roasted Turkey Thighs wth Herb Butter- A Thanksgiving Test Turkey!

Thanksgiving is usually at my home and it is a loud, fun feast full of food and love! I have made an almost perfect turkey ever since I have followed Martha Stewart’s “cheesecloth” method for roasting a turkey. Really, it’s not that I am a gifted cook, it is absolutely her method! It comes out succulent and moist and everyone raves. It is also sorta fun! Kinda like a science experiment or magic! Check out her instructions you won’t be disappointed! http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/how-to-roast-a-turkey

Ihave also beem intrigued by recipes that putherb butter under the skin of a turkey to give it moisture and flavor.

This Thanksgiving I am going to combine both processes. I have never made any poultry with herb butter under its skin, so I thought I would do a “test turkey“.

It was delicious! And again, fun and easy. So this Thanksgiving I just might have the best tasting turkey around ( at least as far as my family is concerned)!

Again, I am drooling. I love the cheesecloth method for cooking any bird. It does come out yummy every time. I had an elderly lady in the grocery store tell me about it. I inherited my gift of gab from my grandmother. I can walk in anywhere and strike up an hour conversation with anyone! She told me about it and I tried it. I was so pleased with it too. I even challenged it by buying the cheapest turkey they had too! I thought that would be the real test! If you roast a whole turkey, you can buy an injector to put melted butter under the skin. This also makes for a great tasting turkey!

Yvonne…you have a BEAUTIFUL meal there! I too use the cheesecloth method of turkey roasting from MS combined with brining overnight. Always perfect. Do you grow your own herbs. They are always gorgeous, as are your pictures. Have a good weekend
